lisbon 67 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I have fortunately acquired a Soldbuch to Oswald Neidhart who was evacuated from the Cholm pocket to Helmstedt Lazarett.He was in the 2nd company Jagerkommando 8 and there is an entry for the 31st October 1942 awarding the Cholmshield.There is a stamp, albeit faint, for the Jager unit in green confirming the award. Unfortunately there is no photo of Neidhart which is a shame, nonetheless a rare bird.See attached pictures: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Williamson Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Very nice indeed, even without the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hucks216 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) For Cholm he was serving with Jagdkommando 8 (as shown in the first entry in Section C on Pg 4) rather than Jager Btl 8 although the latter was formed from the first 4 Kompanies of the former later in 1942. You can see the OOB (which shows Jagdkdo 8) listed for XXXIX AK in the entry dated 22nd January 1942.... http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/Korps/XXXIXKorps.htm Edited November 27, 2010 by hucks216 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisbon 67 Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Thanks Hucks I should have stated Jagd/as opposed to Jager.Thanks for the clarification this is not my area and any help is much appreciated. Cheers Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hucks216 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 It certainly has that 'been there' look to it. Lovely item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
